Resumen
La presente investigación se dirige de manera puntual al personal sanitario que
labora en el área de infectología de un centro de salud, ubicado la Ciudad de
Guayaquil, provincia del Guayas. Esta, se ejecutó con la finalidad de evaluar los
riesgos biológicos a los que el personal médico se ha expuesto durante el periodo
2020-2021, enfatizando en el riesgo biológico del COVID-19. Haciendo uso de un
diseño de investigación de campo de nivel descriptivo y enfoque cuantitativo, y
evaluando una población total de 11 trabajadores; se obtuvo como resultado a
través del método BIOGAVAL NEO-2018 que el límite de exposición biológica
(NAB) asociado al COVID-19, en el área de infectología, es de 21. Lo que lo
posicionó como un agente biológico de alto riesgo para los trabajadores. Así
también, que aproximadamente el 25% de los trabajadores no posee el
conocimiento requerido referente a los riesgos biológicos y la cultura preventiva
de seguridad y salud laboral de la entidad evaluada. Y, que el 45% de los ellos han
sufrido accidentes laborales biológicos que involucran pinchazos, salpicaduras de
sangre, fluidos, etc. De acuerdo a los resultados antes mencionados, se detalló una
propuesta de control de riesgos biológicos, ajustada a las necesidades de la
entidad y sus colaboradores.
This research is aimed specifically at health staff working in the infectious disease Area of a health center located in the city of Guayaquil, Guayas province. It was executed with the purpose of evaluating the biological risks to which the medical staff has been exposed during the period 2020-2021, emphasizing the biological risk of COVID-19.Using a field research design of descriptive level and quantitative approach, evaluating a total population of 11 workers, it was obtained as a result through the BIOGAVAL NEO-2018 method that the biological exposure limit (BEL) associated with covid-19 in the area of infectious diseases is 21, which positioned it as a high-risk biological agent for workers. Also, approximately 25% of the workers do not have the required knowledge regarding biological risks and the preventive occupational health and safety culture of the evaluated entity. Forty-five percent of them have suffered biological occupational accidents involving punctures, blood splashes, fluids, etc. According to the mentioned results, a proposal for the control of biological risks was detailed, adjusted to the needs of the entity and its collaborators.
